This game in a nutshell.
yeah i use cheetah and bigfoots. Way to long of a reload to be fun, Iād rather play cannons and I hate cannons.
ad the freaking Bfs to go along with cheetahā¦and the co-driverā¦and you have to be always on the move to keep the perk always working
I read this post, went and threw all that at a Harpy-Fuze comboā¦andā¦wah-laā¦
Second try. Ridiculous zero effort build.
So, IDK. Iād like my Sidekicks to be less stupid. And, more maps, thanks.
Hold onā¦ let me tryā¦

I probably just got lucky. IDK. I was surprised really,
Iām sure if I go back in and try to build something pretty at about the same PS (7.4k?) Iāll get mauled, but at least I know itās possible to play them. I donāt need to get MVP all the time. I donāt care, but I do get bored with getting pwnd fast.
I rage-quit my Fuses right after they nerfed them, because they did it the day after I fused them. Pissed me off. I couldnāt get them to work after that, so I shelved them.
Anyway, the eveningās here, so Iām gonna go back in and see if I can doll that rig up a bit. When I tried earlier the lag was a lot better than itās been in a while. It seemed pretty playable, but I didnāt have the time. I think the nightās mine now.
Good luck to you, Babās.
Thank you.
I needed, for me was a tons of tries yesterday.
Getting mauled, everyone gets mauled, specially if there is a destructor build or something around.
but the other way around itās not funny either, where your build survive the onslaught and thereās no more drones to launch. Thereās no point in that either.
Try using flying drones, you can go as fast as you want, they will keep up with you unlike wheeled drones, you can keep your way of building.
I did this for the last red light and radiance operation.
Now iām trying to make it viable for the normal battleā¦while keeping the weight down

6052 power score. I would sit in queue forever at that PS 5 out of 7 days a week. I am forced to run my 4 Turrets at 8,000 PS to score a match quickly, 9000 for 3 Grenadiers.
how i would balance these is simple.
1: undo the damage nerf from before from all drones except grenadiers and annihilators.
2: buff / fix the ai of drones to have them avoid getting in front of your vehicle and stay to your sides or behind you.
3: make it so that wheel drones have better ai and better targeting.
4: rework the perk of the muninn cabin. currently this perk doubles the damage of your drones for 7 seconds before making them go poof. this perk is so bad and unusable by any other drone apart from fuze drones that its not even worth using. how i would fix this is like this
- give the perk unlimited activation time or it activates upon summoning your drones.
- when your drones expire the cabin goes into a cooldown state and cannot be used for a period of time.
- the amount of damage boost it gives is dependant on the drone type, drone rarity and how many of them you have on your car. losing a drone carrier gives your other drones a boost accordingly.
- keep the lock on perk but increase its distance slightly. maybe 5%.
also these drones need this rework
anaconda:
- drone reload speed boosted by 150 - 200%. the reload speed is far to slow for this drone.
- damage increased by 100 - 200%. currently the damage of this weapon is so bad and laughable. 75 base damage to the enemies cabin is so terrible. the drones damage should be a bit higher then that.
- explosion radius increased by 50 - 75%.
- missile ai fixed so that missiles dont faceplant into the ground.
- give the drone more durability. it should have a base of 100 at the very least.
Owls:
- drone reload speed boosted by 150 - 200%. same reason as the anacondas.
- drone damage increased by 100 - 200%. again same reason as anacondas.
- explosion radius increased by 50 - 75%. same as anacondas.
- missile ai improved.
- more durability. this drone should have at least 90 durability.
i meanā¦ does anyone else agree?
None of these things really address the issues I have running drones.
My issue is that I donāt care for the energy rework. Iām simply not a fan of how many modules I am now required to use to make any build efficient, not just drones. With the right modules, cab, and co-driver, drones seem plenty efficient to meā¦were they not so stupid and stared at walls so often.
Without those support modules drones no longer work very well, and if they did, adding those modules and the co-driver would probably make them OP, and very, very irritating at low PS.
Iād simply like them to engage a little quicker, and get lost less often.
No, i get in games easy, thereās no real difference between this build or my puncher or storm chaser or eve this

Iām guessing Babuskae is on console?
I get 3 minute queues often over here on PC at 6K and even 7K, especially if I use a joust build. If I use a joust-rod, I can expect to get one or two matches with brief queues, but after that it puts me in ātime-out,ā and I can sit there indefinitely. Thatās been the case for over a year maybe two.
This game is just very unpopular, and it uses a filter on the matchmaker, rather than just giving you ārandomā matches, which causes the queues to be even longer, since there is nobody to fill matches with in the first place, let alone after it engages the filter.
Also, I play nearly exclusively PVP, and the results and behavior of the matchmaker is very different for PVE. It is far less discriminating when it comes to PVE, than it is for PVP.
The relative power-score ranges can be much wider and less discerning in PVE than it is for PVP, by leaps and bounds.
Saturday and Sunday mornings, locked to RU server, I get short queues at 6600 using the Call, 3 Turrets, Maxwell, Cheetah, 1 Common booster and 4 Bigfoot wheels for 23 Energy. 5:00 am Central time. 1100 GMT.
No, iām on PC.

I could complain more about lag or rubber banding than waiting in queues to enter battles, most of the times, Raids is where i donāt even try to enter past a certain hour,
So i donāt even try. ( 23:00 h to 00:00 h local time, Greenwich time, iām from Portugal )
I donāt have any idea to where iām sent in some of the battles but i would imagine by the rubber banding and lag which make many games pretty unplayable, to some crazy places.
I would love to ear from a seal clubber to see if my theory about it makes any sense.
My builds are pretty strait forward.
Drones - ruby, cheetah, Bfs, co-driver at 7 k / 7.5 k
Lancer - rune, 1 Seal, 3 boosters, common. lances, a gasgen and thatās it, 6k.
Even with Docās SG build iām not encounter any problems entering games.
Maybe for that the game let me pass with no major delays .
